First United Methodist Church Round Rock believes mission and outreach give feet to the faith that we profess. We commit to promote missions as varied as our membership, so that all may find a way to live out the Gospel for the benefit and transformation of the world. Through outreach and mission, we seek to minister to the needs of our growing community, area, and world. With new people, there are new passions. As a growing church, our mission and outreach are always expanding. You can find more information about some of our mission opportunities here.

Heart to Heart Quilters
Heart to Heart Quilters strive to follow the example of our Lord Jesus Christ to comfort the afflicted by providing quilts to children ages 17 years and younger with catastrophic illnesses or in difficult social situations. They pray as they stitch love into every quilt. Join the quilters on Thursdays mornings, 9:30 am and Thursday evenings, 5:30 pm at 115 Winsted House on our campus. For more information, email Quilters@fumc-rr.org or click the button below. If you have never quilted, we will teach you.

We will supply what you need to get started. Come and join us morning or evening!
